Only thing I would say is that when you give Perez his way and fuck the entire footballing world....do you think that there would be anyone in our corner if he makes yet another move that benefits only Madrid in the future?

Is it unpopular because people voiced their position or did people voice their position because it's unpopular?

How did it become unpopular in the first place?

UEFA propaganda.

Better question, and the real one that should be asked, what did UEFA do wrong that it created a situation where the biggest clubs in the world feel that a Super League is necessary?

This is true.

There is no Milan without Seria A and without CL history.

Some clubs have never relegated from top divisions or have once in a century and it's fine.
The most interesting part is scudetto fight, no one cares about who relegates from serie A or promoted from serie B

Curva Sud Milano official communication after the ESL announcement

As the football season draws to a close, the world of football has been hit by a storm called the Super League, a competition strongly desired by the most emblazoned European teams, in open contrast with the policies of UEFA.

A real earthquake in the football environment, which inevitably affects us closely, given that our Milan team is one of the dozen "splitting" clubs that intend to give life to this new European competition.

The reaction of the various football institutional and political components was as quick as it was predictable and pressurized, with heads of government, leaders of the various national and international federations and club managers from all over Europe wasting no time in vehemently attacking the components of this new league, threatening heavy penalties under the cry of "football belongs to the people".

Honestly, the fact that all the gentlemen in the control room are now putting us fans first makes us smile.

The Super League is just the latest of countless maneuvers that have been taking place for decades and have turned football into a business. Certainly the birth of this new competition would be yet another blow to the football of the past, which is now only a distant memory, and will inevitably end up obscuring the charm and tradition of the various national leagues, depriving football of the indispensable principle of sporting meritocracy.

But what makes us even more indignant is the hypocrisy of all those who have contributed to making this sport just a business. toy that they thought was untouchable.

Football belonged to the people until the 1990s, when the Champions League came into being, to the detriment of the old Champions Cup.

Football belonged to the people, even when no one did anything to stop the high ticket prices imposed by some presidents.

Football also belonged to the people when nothing was done to hinder the unstoppable rise of the agents, who took the players' salaries to ever more astronomical figures, sustainable only thanks to the income from television rights, those TVs that then imposed increasingly tight calendars, with matches on days and times that were absolutely improbable.

Football belonged to the people even when rules were introduced to prohibit any kind of relationship between players and fans.

Football was also the people's game when Super Cup finals were played on other continents or the dates of some matches were changed just a few days before the game, to the detriment of fans who may have already bought train or plane tickets to come to the stadium.

Football belonged to the people even when some very influential presidents in the league openly stated that despite the achievement of the sporting result, some clubs with a small catchment area should be prevented from playing in Serie A.

Football belonged to the people even when some clubs were allowed to circumvent financial fair play, while others with less influential bosses were penalized.

Football also belonged to the people when it was decided by all means to assign the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, despite the fact that this would mean that the World Cup would be held in November, which would upset the clubs' calendar. The same Qatar, moreover, is under indictment for the countless human rights violations against the workers who helped build the stadiums, often in inhumane working conditions and resulting in some 6,500 deaths at work. It is strange that this has left FIFA, which is usually very attentive to social issues, indifferent, even if the doubt arises that it is only when it suits them...

We could list many other examples to demonstrate the absolute inconsistency in the words of these lasts hours from the top management of football, compared to the work done for decades, which has led football to become from a popular game to a pure instrument of the most unrestrained business.

Football had to be revised from the ground up at all levels, federations, clubs, managers and players a long time ago. The Super League is just another piece of rubbish, but those who have brought football to this point of almost no return are no better, so let's avoid sleazy theatrics of rhetoric and morality. Now that the money is running out, get angry with each other, but don't you dare mention the fans.

PIGS!

Guys there are merits to both sides (no Trump so Berlu will have to do)
Also I get the cold hard (n/h) logic types

BUT

Having a league where ppl can't be relegated/kicked out goes against the spirit of football itself. Some of you are advocating to win the game 3-0 without kicking the ball

The joy comes from the struggle. (n/r)
What confuses me is that after we've struggled with so much shit over these last decade.....you want to give that all up? For a participation medal? Because let's be real here...if there was a Super League tomorrow Milan wasn't going to win shit until at least the next three years of reinforcements.

Maybe I'm to patient and prefer to see things grow. I'm not calling the ppl for the Super League bad fans but I really don't like the idea on an aesthetic and fundamental level....hell even on an ethical level. Laugh all you want.

Only thing I would say is that when you give Perez his way and fuck the entire footballing world....do you think that there would be anyone in our corner if he makes yet another move that benefits only Madrid in the future?

People are happy, I don?t see anyone sounding aggressive, fairly reasonable discussions going on.

I don?t see any pro-SL wishing death on UEFA members, unlike certain long hair

Glad you brought up how vile and aggressive people get when they don?t get their ways.
